Some Welsh NHS staff with Covid-19 have been given wrong test results and were told they did not have coronavirus, BBC Wales has learned.
It happened when a small number of test samples from a batch of 96 were attributed to the wrong patients.

There’s bound to be “ mistakes “ until recently they didn’t even have anything to makes test for, a case of the blind leading the blind. In my opinion, sight is the best test , if some looks sick, acts sick then they’re probably sick.
Wow!
Useless Tory government.
People make mistakes yeah, how about the 10 if they were positive how many of they family members would get infected, people don't want to stay at home how many will infect other people because of the mistakes you can't afford mistakes now
Oh Jesus that is one almighty cock up
Unfortunately when mass testing is demanded... human error occurs.
A spokesman for the health board said: 'Since the 14th of March we have undertaken circa 1,600 staff tests... Circa should normally only be used when the dates of events are not precisely known, what wrong with approximately?
Don't doubt it.
Did anyone read to the end? Mistake picked up within hours. Everyone contacted and everything checked. No harm was done. So why spread more panic BBC News ?
Why did I laugh at this?
Germany uses the RKI, which is an upper federal agency designed to speed up response in these situations. Since 1891 it has coordinated suppliers, research and government. Testing is paramount for all 3. The UK has only recently began to remove red tap and is struggling.
Why do the BBC focus on only the negativity, let’s have some good heartwarming stories for a change!
10? 🙄😏
Everybody needs to calm and get in stricter procedures. At least mistake was noticed.
From Brexit to COVID-19, this country has became the biggest joke. No wonder, because is being run by the clown party... Conservatives BorisJohnson 🙄
Please report something positive. The nation is really trying but you and SkyNews are making it harder
U.K. Healthcare System has been midway on the European Consumer Healthcare Index (circa 35 countries measured) since Blair/Brown & maybe before? The sharp end NHS is fantastic. But the support systems must improve for them. PPE dist & Labs are issues we’ve seen recently.
They were actually given the 1989 GCSE results by mistake.
For some reason from what I've seen of it, it doesn't surprise me.
By who, the NHS or the govt?
Lets get the Germans in to run out testing programme as we are useless at it
Pre Covid19 Austerity meant Police+Firefighters filled in as medics+ambulance drivers; NHS now needs CPR!
😳
You really couldn’t make this up. So how many patients were then looked after by them?
Nothing to be sarcastic about especially for those in the NHS whom this may concern
These are NOT the times for error especially when we need to win this battle.
It would be expected that you should report accurately this is creating concern needlessly
a bad test is worse than no test.
NHSworkers have suffered from appalling neglect by CONservative Govt+now in urgent need of intensivecare
Shit stirring headline don’t you think?
Of course they were. The whole thing had been a shambles from start to finish.
Oh look we found another ultra important cockup, let’s all jump up and down on this for the next 48 hours shall we?
Suspicious of 'immedately'; immediately after the mistake was NOTICED* presumably? (*NB my 'urgent' ultrasound was ordered 12 days after 'suspected DVT' was written on NHS GP notes, twice.. by two different GP, then eventually Bupa found DVT in thigh, 8 days after Bupa xray, etc)
How many are in induced comas that dint need to be?
Whi did the tests? NHS?
😔
wow.. how many extra people got infected because of this stupid mistake?
😳
A group of ten in Wales! What the fuck kind of headline is this? this is disgraceful!!!!
It's one cock up after another!
Wth
Human error it seems. Not the test itself. 🙄
Their poor patients.
Most likely faulty kits rather than human error. From speaking to a bio/med specialists.
Is this Boris’ fault too?
So told they don't they go back to work ...... OMFG 😭
I have reached the point where nothing will surprise any more 🤷🏼♀️
Read the article - less than 10 more than 1 and YET AGAIN WALES NHS OVERSEEN By The WELSH GOVERNMENT ....
Is this a joke
Only in Britain ?
More testing, really?
Look, get real, these mistakes are going to happen.Whilst it’s obviously very distressing for the individuals and a risk for contacts/families etc of those given false negatives, quality control does seem to have picked it up.We will probably see more of this if we hit 100k tests
How on earth did that happen?
5Gs fault
🤦🏻♂️🙄
Surely its the NHS that give the results?
wtf
FFS... Who is running the Welsh NHS!!!
This on a daily basis..... coronavirusuk covid19UK
Envy of the world, readers...
